What annoys me most about the phrase "This is the New Normal" is that it implies that we just have to accept it and there's nothing we can do about it.
Being sick all the time is Not Normal.
The oceans boiling and the forests burning down while the cities either flood or wither in droughts is Not Normal either.
A few assholes holding the vast majority of the wealth while the rest of us struggle to get by is definitely Not Normal.
And we should not accept any of it as Normal.
It is not.
